Tips for starting back up

Realized that I've gone to **** lately. Haven't trained in around 6 months, so my speed stamina, and technique are out the window. What I want to know is should I jump right back in, or step back to basics for a while?

PizDoff is on the money - get out and do some conditioning. It will help you get through the classes a lot easier and you'll spend less time looking for a corner to spew in and more time throwing punches.

Depending on how deconditioned you are it might be easiest to go with one of the Couch to 5K running programs. They're designed to easy you back into it and if you're finding its a bit to easy just jump ahead a few weeks.

Neighbor of mine took up Muy Thai aerobic class instead of regular MT classes. Says by the time he switched to the real stuff he was so grateful for the conditioning that he's fully committed to MT now. Doesn't see the point of going to a regular gym anymore.
